I think it will look horrible.

Just like how unpainted CF looks on any car (besides the Zonda)

its weird, a silver car with black cf looks good. but you do the opposite black car with silver CF and in my head i picture a weird, tacky look. weird tho how that works

I wish they made silver CF side mirrors I dont know if i'd rock them but it would be interesting to see. But thats only because i have a silver car, maybe im just trying to find a reason to put CF on

I personally wouldn't do it, I've tried picturing it over and over but it just doesnt click. The only silver cf I'm going to have is in my interior go to along with my sterling silver leather =] glad to see I'm not the only one that thinks its a major failed idea
